You don’t need a dog to participate, you can just come and admire the spectacle

You don’t even need to do the walk, you can just hang out at Stage 88

Money raised goes to ALL animals not just dogs (domestic, native, livestock)

And in closing – wow! It’s really heartwarming and uplifting for staff and volunteers at RSPCA to see so many people make the effort to support this event. We obviously all love animals, and it’s nice to see that so many other people do too.

Canberra has one of the highest pet ownership rates in the country and we should be very proud of the turnout we get to this event each year. It is the third busiest walk out of 70 across the country, after one in VIC and the walk in Perth.

Massive thanks to Canberrans – it was yet again one to remember
